Writer-Reminders .... the ezine for sidetracked writers.

Jan 31, 2006 - Seven Steps to a Fulfilling 2006

 


Thought for the Week - Seven Steps to a Fulfilling 2006
 

So how are you doing on your plans for 2006?  (I won't say that "resolution" word since most of us have broken them already!)

How about a little exercise to get some of your excitement and adrenaline back about your goals for the year?

Anthony Robbins has a free electronic workbook and audio with his seven steps to a fulfilling 2006.  It will help you review last year, plan this year and get rid of negative thinking at

AnthonyRobbins.com


Would you like some help working through the 30-day plan in The Organized Writer?  We've put together 30 days of email messages to help guide you through the 30 days.  Each day you'll get a short introduction, an assignment to work through, and a checklist for the day's lesson. 

You can get the lessons for only $8.95 or combine it with The Organized Writer ebook and save $4.

 For freelance writers... My Favorite Notetaking Tool


Are you a linear thinker? Do you work in lists and outlines? 

 I am and have been using this fantastic notepad tool that lets me create an expandable outline on the left hand side of the screen with notetaking areas on the right hand side. 

It's perfect for categorizing a lot of research, and lets you "plug" in information as you find it. 

Internet links are "live" and you can right-click on them to open in your browser.

It has a word counter, frequency counter, spell checker and thesaurus, and tons more features that I haven't even tried to use yet.

(These features are in the PRO version, and you can try it for free for 30 days.  You can see a screen shot of the outline feature here.)

For authors and publishers....  Need some motivation?


Here is a fantastic online movie that may inspire you to spend more time on your book:

One last thought... New book from one of my coaches


Is 2006 the year you reach your wealth goals?

This is your chance to learn what the wealthy know, in an easy to read and follow format. You get the exact formula that has made hundreds of people millionaires. It only takes a decision on your part and you could be on your way to being rich in 2006.

One of my coaches, Loral Langemeier, has written a brand-new book with detailed steps on how to become wealthy.

"Julie, I am sending a quick note to thank you for your well measured and extra-ordinary website. You have a tremendous amount of information at a very reasonable cost. I subscribed to your free site and, for the first time in forty years of writing, found a planner that works for me.  I felt so guilty for receiving so much information free from your
site that I have now ordered and downloaded the e book. I have found that you have struck a cord among so  many writers regarding procrastination and simple  organization. Keep up the good work.
